Three geopolitical revolutions
Today there is a brutal world game with unprecedented stakes, intricate, unpredictable moves and unclear prospects. In it, even the most brilliant tactical victory can turn into a strategic defeat. Our fundamental task is to completely exclude such a confluence of circumstances in which the Pyrrhic triumph "for an hour" will have to be paid for by the very existence of Russian civilization. And remember: we are facing a smart, sophisticated, ruthless enemy.

A few years ago, Europeans began to take measures to reduce dependence on Russian hydrocarbons. The events in Ukraine have accelerated this trend.

With tough decisions, there will simply be a collapse.
Keywords: oil, Europe, renewable energy, reduction of dependence, difference in energy situations in Europe and the USA.
